Document Purpose and Intended Audience

This guide describes how to configure and operate the software component of the Hotwire Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) system. Specifically, this document addresses the use of the following cards in the

DSLAM:

H8540 Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line (RADSL) card.

H8546 Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line (RADSL) card.

This document is intended for administrators and operators who maintain the networks that support Hotwire operation. A basic understanding of internetworking protocols and their features is assumed. Specifically, you should have familiarity with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Network Management Systems (NMSs), and the following internetworking concepts:

HTCP/IP applications

HIP and subnet addressing

HIP forwarding (also referred to as IP routing)

It is also assumed that you have already installed either the Hotwire 8600/8610, 8800/8810 DSLAM, or 8820 GranDSLAM. If you have not done so already, refer to the appropriate Hotwire DSLAM or GranDSLAM installation document for installation instructions.

NOTE:

It is highly recommended that you read the Hotwire DSLAM for 8540 and 8546 DSL Cards Network Configuration Guide before you begin to use this guide and the Hotwire software. The Network Configuration Guide provides introductory information about the Hotwire DSLAM network model and theories. It is also recommended that you read the Hotwire Management Communications Controller (MCC) Card User’s Guide.
